Harris says he’s seen worse
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPI) - Atlanta
manager Luman Harris agreed
tis Braves played some terrible
baseball the past two nights,
but he insisted he’d seen worse
—much worse.
“They were some weird ones
all rights,” Harris said after
the Braves blew a four-run
lead to lose in 10 innings to the
St. Louis Cardinals on Monday
and then blew another four-run
lead but beat the Cardinals in
10 innings Tuesday.
“But you should have seen
some of the games we played
when I was with the old Phila
delphia A’s,” the former major
league pitcher said.
“In those years, playing a
154-game schedule, we’d do our
damdest to keep from losing 100,
but we never could seem to
make it.
“One year, we lost 20 in a
row,” Harris continued. “That
was the record then. I remem
ber how we ended that losing
streak just like it was yester-
day. We figured we had already
lost the 21st when the other
team’s first baseman, on a bunt
down the foul line, hit the sec
ond base umpire right in the
seat of the pants with the ball
and we went on to score seven
runs in the inning.”
The Braves and Cardinals
combined for 50 hits, 18 of them
for extra bases, the past two
nights but errors and wild
pitches played a big role in the
scoring.
“That’s the way it usually is
when you have those kind of
games,” Harris said. “When
things start going wrong, noth
ing goes right.
“The old New York Yankees
were the exception,” he said.

“Once they got nine straight
hits off us. The catcher went
out to the mound and said,
‘well, that’s the whole lineup, I
don’t know what we’re suppose
to do now.’”
Harris on Tuesday night was
a changed man from Harris on
Monday night. After the loss, he
was so angry he was sputtering.
After Tuesday night’s win, he
was a genial host.
“Oh, I wasn’t really that bad
last night, was I?” Harris
asked. “Anyway, I got over it
pretty quick.”

Aaron and Cepeda have been

Grass courts
anger player
BRISTOL, England (UPI) —
England’s grass may be
greener than most but to tennis
players it’s still grass.
“AD grass courts should be
dug up,” said an angry Bob
Lutz of Los Angeles after he
had slithered and slipped to a
first round victory Tuesday
over California teammate Roy-
Barth of San Diego in the Wills
Open Tennis Tournament.
“Yea, I mean Forest Hills
and all the other grass
surfaces. Wimbledon is okay
but the rest should be dug up,”
he insisted.
“We’re playing for big money
(the top prize here is $10,000)
and you need a true surface
where you can trust the bounce.
If it rains it becomes a lottery
and luck becomes important,”
Lutz continued.
Lutz at least finished his
match, which was twice inter
rupted by the elements. Not so
veteran Dane Torben Ulrich,
who quit when a set ahead and
2-4 to South Africa’s Bob Maud
in the first round on Monday.
“Perhaps I’m too old for
grass or perhaps grass is too
did for the game,” he said as
he stormed off the court to the
suiprise of his opponent and
officials.
Rod Laver, the game’s
leading money winner, said: “I
guess I’ll have to concentrate
Wednesday, June 9,1971
7
more on grass. At Wimbledon
last year I became upset by
bad bounces and lost my
concentration for a few games.
I have to mentally condition
myself to play on the surface
even though I was raised on it
in Australia.”
The pros’ dislike of grass
does not mean they like the
slow clay courts of the
Continent. “Give me an artifi
cial surface every time,” was
how Barth put it.
The Davis Cup nations have
tried to ban grass but have not
been successful so far.
Rain allowed only five
matches to be completed
Tuesday and in one of them,
defending champion Nikki Pilic
of Yugoslavia knocked off top
seed John Newcombe of Austra
lia, 9-8, 6-4.
With Laver, Kenny Rosewall
and Arthur Ashe of Gum
Spring, Va. in the bottom half
of the draw, Pilic could now go
throw to the final.
Ashe, the second seed, and
Rosewall, the seventh, must
play twice today assuming they
win first round ma|ches against
Australians Owen Davidson and
Ray Ruffles, respectively. Dick
Crealy of Australia awaits Ashe
while Andres Gimeno of Spain
seeks to stop Rosewall.
